Abstract
Purpose Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease and the predominant cause of ischemic stroke (IS). AS is a potential pathogenetic factor in IS. However, the processes by which they interact remain unknown. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the shared gene signatures and putative molecular processes in AS and IS. Methods Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data for AS and IS microarrays were retrieved. The co-expression modules associated with AS and IS were identified using the Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA). We constructed an interaction network of shared differentially expressed genes in AS and IS and conducted an enrichment analysis using ClueGO software. We validated the results in a separate cohort through differential gene analysis. Additionally, we retrieved AS and IS-related miRNAs from the Human microRNA Disease Database (HMDD) and predicted their target genes using miRWalk. We then built a network of miRNAs-mRNAs-KEGG pathways using the shared genes. Results Through WGCNA, we identified five modules and six modules as significant in AS and IS, respectively. A ClueGO enrichment analysis of common genes showed that highly active CCR1 chemokine receptor binding is critical to AS and IS pathogenesis. The differential analysis expression results in another cohort closely matched these findings. The miRNA-mRNA network suggested that hsa-miR-330-5p, hsa-miR-143-3p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-152-3p might regulate the shared gene KRAS, which could be a key player in AS and IS. Conclusion We integrated ischemic stroke and carotid atherosclerosis public database data and found that ATF3, CCL3, CCL4, JUNB, KRAS, and ZC3H12A may affect both, making them novel biomarkers or therapeutic target genes. Clinical samples and expression trends supported our analyses of pivotal genes.

Abstract
Rupture or dissection of thoracic aortic aneurysms is still the leading cause of death for patients diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. Inflammation and matrix digestion regulated by matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) play a major role in the pathological remodeling of the aortic media. Regnase-1 is an endoribonuclease shown to cleave the mRNA of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6. Considering the major anti-inflammatory effects of regnase-1, here, we aimed to determine whether adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated vascular overexpression of the protein could provide protection from the development and progression of aortic aneurysms in Marfan syndrome. The overexpression of regnase-1 resulted in a marked decrease in inflammatory parameters and elastin degradation in aortic smooth muscle cells in vitro. Intravenous injection of a vascular-targeted AAV vector resulted in the efficient transduction of the aortic wall and overexpression of regnase-1 in a murine model of Marfan syndrome, associated with lower circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines and decreased MMP expression and activity. Regnase-1 overexpression strongly improved elastin architecture in the media and reduced aortic diameter at distinct locations. Therefore, AAV-mediated regnase-1 overexpression may represent a novel gene therapy approach for inhibiting aortic aneurysms in Marfan syndrome.

Pharmacological inhibition of MALT1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1) induces ferroptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells. Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:456. [PMID: 38097554 PMCID: PMC10721807 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01748-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
MALT1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1) is a human paracaspase protein with proteolytic activity via its caspase-like domain. The pharmacological inhibition of MALT1 by MI-2, a specific chemical inhibitor, diminishes the response of endothelial cells to inflammatory stimuli. However, it is largely unknown how MALT1 regulates the functions of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). This study aims to investigate the impact of MALT1 inhibition by MI-2 on the functions of vascular SMCs, both in vitro and in vivo. MI-2 treatment led to concentration- and time-dependent cell death of cultured aortic SMCs, which was rescued by the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) or ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), a specific inhibitor of ferroptosis, but not by inhibitors of apoptosis (Z-VAD-fmk), pyroptosis (Z-YVAD-fmk), or necrosis (Necrostatin-1, Nec-1). MI-2 treatment downregulated the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferritin heavy polypeptide 1 (FTH1), which was prevented by pre-treatment with DFO or Fer-1. MI-2 treatment also activated autophagy, which was inhibited by Atg7 deficiency or bafilomycin A1 preventing MI-2-induced ferroptosis. MI-2 treatment reduced the cleavage of cylindromatosis (CYLD), a specific substrate of MALT1. Notably, MI-2 treatment led to a rapid loss of contractility in mouse aortas, which was prevented by co-incubation with Fer-1. Moreover, local application of MI-2 significantly reduced carotid neointima lesions and atherosclerosis in C57BL/6J mice and apolipoprotein-E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice, respectively, which were both ameliorated by co-treatment with Fer-1. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that MALT1 inhibition induces ferroptosis of vascular SMCs, likely contributing to its amelioration of proliferative vascular diseases.

J Periodontol 2023; 94:130-140. [PMID: 35712915 PMCID: PMC10087685 DOI: 10.1002/jper.22-0093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate oral bacteria- and interleukin (IL)-1β-induced protein and mRNA expression profiles of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1-induced protein (MCPIP)-1 and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein (MALT)-1 in human gingival keratinocyte monolayers and organotypic oral mucosal models. METHODS Human gingival keratinocyte (HMK) monolayers were incubated with Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IL-1β. The protein levels of MCPIP-1 and MALT-1 were examined by immunoblots and mRNA levels by qPCR. MCPIP-1 and MALT-1 protein expression levels were also analyzed immunohistochemically using an organotypic oral mucosal model. One-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey correction was used in statistical analyses. RESULTS In keratinocyte monolayers, MCPIP-1 protein expression was suppressed by F. nucleatum and MALT-1 protein expression was suppressed by F. nucleatum, P. gingivalis LPS and IL-1β. P. gingivalis seemed to degrade MCPIP-1 and MALT-1 at all tested time points and degradation was inhibited when P. gingivalis was heat-killed. MCPIP-1 mRNA levels were increased by P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum, and IL-1β, however, no changes were observed in MALT-1 mRNA levels. CONCLUSION Gingival keratinocyte MCPIP-1 and MALT-1 mRNA and protein expression responses are regulated by infection and inflammatory mediators. These findings suggest that periodontitis-associated bacteria-induced modifications in MCPIP-1 and MALT-1 responses can be a part of periodontal disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed iron-dependent cell death. The ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) have been recognized as biomarkers for cancers. Increasing evidence has indicated that ferroptosis is involved in the process of atherosclerosis. However, the potential FRGs used for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy for atherosclerosis are still unclear. We aimed to identify the ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of atherosclerosis. We downloaded the mRNA-sequencing data of patients with atherosclerosis from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. HMOX1 was identified as an essential ferroptosis-related DEG by bioinformatic analysis of the GSE28829 and GSE43292 datasets. The pro-ferroptotic effect of HMOX1 was validated through cell experiments. Then we conducted a single-gene analysis of HMOX1 and found that high-expression of HMOX1 in atherosclerotic plaques was accompanied by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) producing and M0 macrophages infiltration. Taken together, our present study suggested HMOX1 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for atherosclerosis and provided more evidence about the vital role of ferroptosis in atherosclerosis progression.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 induced protein 1 (MCPIP1), one of the MCPIP family members, is characterized by the presence of both C-x8-C-x5-C-x3-H (CCCH)- type zinc finger and PilT-N-terminal domains. As a potent regulator of innate immunity, MCPIP1 exerts anti-inflammatory effects through its ribonuclease (RNase) and deubiquitinating enzyme activities to degrade cytokine mRNAs and inhibit nuclear factor- kappa B (NF-κB), respectively. MCPIP1 is expressed not only in immune cells but also in many other cell types, including cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Increasing evidence indicates that MCPIP1 plays a role in the regulation of cardiac functions and is involved in the processes of vascular diseases, such as ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and atherosclerosis. To better understand the emerging roles of MCPIP1 in the cardiovascular system, we reviewed the current literature with respect to MCPIP1 functions and discussed its association with the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and the implication as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Although the adhesion molecules-mediated leukocyte adherence and infiltration into tissues is an important step of inflammation, the post-translational regulation of these proteins on the endothelial cells is poorly understood. Here, we report that TRIM65, an ubiquitin E3 ligase of tripartite protein family, selectively targets vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and promotes its ubiquitination and degradation, by which it critically controls the duration and magnitude of sepsis-induced pulmonary inflammation. TRIM65 is constitutively expressed in human vascular endothelial cells. During TNFα-induced endothelial activation, the protein levels of TRIM65 and VCAM-1 are inversely correlated. Expression of wild-type TRIM65, but not expression of a TRIM65 mutant that lacks E3 ubiquitin ligase function in endothelial cells, promotes VCAM-1 ubiquitination and degradation, whereas small interference RNA-mediated knockdown of TRIM65 attenuates VCAM-1 protein degradation. Further experiments show that TRIM65 directly interacts with VCAM-1 protein and directs its polyubiquitination, by which TRIM65 controls monocyte adherence and infiltration into tissues during inflammation. Importantly, TRIM65-deficient mice are more sensitive to lipopolysaccharide-induced death, due to sustained and severe pulmonary inflammation. Taken together, our studies suggest that TRIM65-mediated degradation of VCAM-1 represents a potential mechanism that controls the duration and magnitude of inflammation.

Abstract
CARD14 gain-of-function mutations cause psoriasis in humans and mice. Together with BCL10 and the protease MALT1, mutant CARD14 forms a signaling node that mediates increased NF-κB signaling and proinflammatory gene expression in keratinocytes. However, it remains unclear whether psoriasis in response to CARD14 hyperactivation is keratinocyte-intrinsic or requires CARD14 signaling in other cells. Moreover, the in vivo effect of MALT1 targeting on mutant CARD14-induced psoriasis has not yet been documented. Here, we show that inducible keratinocyte-specific expression of CARD14E138A in mice rapidly induces epidermal thickening and inflammation as well as increased expression of several genes associated with psoriasis in humans. Keratinocyte-specific MALT1 deletion as well as oral treatment of mice with a specific MALT1 protease inhibitor strongly reduces psoriatic skin disease in CARD14E138A mice. Together, these data illustrate a keratinocyte-intrinsic causal role of enhanced CARD14/MALT1 signaling in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and show the potential of MALT1 inhibition for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
The monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein (MCPIP) family consists of 4 members (MCPIP1–4) encoded by the ZC3h12A-D genes, which are located at different loci. The common features of MCPIP proteins are the zinc finger domain, consisting of three cysteines and one histidine (CCCH), and the N-terminal domain of the PilT protein (PilT-N-terminal domain (PIN domain)). All family members act as endonucleases controlling the half-life of mRNA and microRNA (miRNA). The best-studied member of this family is MCPIP1 (also known as Regnase-1). In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the role of MCPIP1 in cancer-related processes. Because the characteristics of MCPIP1 as a fundamental negative regulator of immune processes have been comprehensively described in numerous studies, we focus on the function of MCPIP1 in modulating apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastasis.
